Parliament and the electoral body yesterday urged the High Court to dismiss petitions challenging the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) constitutional amendment process.

A day after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) told Parliament that some proposals in the BBI were unconstitutional, its lawyers yesterday told the High Court to dismiss the case.
